Hour 3: NY Halftime Report: Mets A, Yankees B-low!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

Sal Licata dives into the first-half performances of the New York Mets and Yankees, delivering his fiery grades and sharp analysis. He commends the Mets with an "A" for exceeding expectations, overcoming injuries, and positioning themselves as serious NL East contenders, just a half-game behind the Phillies. Conversely, Licata hands the Yankees a "B," citing their inconsistent offense, defensive lapses at shortstop, and a convoluted lineup. He highlights the Yankees' need for a third baseman and bullpen help, while the Mets are poised to be aggressive at the trade deadline to bolster their World Series aspirations.
